Left Wing Bottom Skin Install, August 24, 2008

Back at it at 11:30 a.m. Started with step #3 on p. 17-02, calling for 3/8 drill out for the tie down ring. This worked but the result was not as good as I would have liked. The drill made a hole not perfectly circular. Took round file and filed edges.


Next, clecoed and riveted outboard skin to skeleton. Paid particular attention to the "leave open" directions (don't want any re-do's if I can help it). Deburred edges before clecoeing. Clecoed and riveted with no problems.







Finally, step #5, clecoe the W-1202L skin to the middle. Again, double and triple check instructions to avoid mistakes. All went well and completed task at 2:30.

58.5 hours into the project as of today (does not count study time!)
